Here's a reason why I love the SBC: Ed Stetzer. Some good news from LifeWay...

Three Southern Baptist entities - LifeWay Christian Resources, the
North American Mission Board (NAMB) and the International Mission Board
(IMB) - have forged a collaborative research effort in which LifeWay
Research will conduct special research projects on behalf of NAMB and
IMB.

As part of the new initiative, Ed Stetzer, missiologist and senior
director of the Center for Missional Research at NAMB, will become
director of LifeWay Research, effective June 1. Stetzer also will serve
as LifeWay’s missiologist in residence.

Ed Stetzer is a friend and I'm happy to see him doing some new things for the SBC and larger Christian mission in the world.
